Okay, so it’s not a $400 46” flat screen TV or a $49 Blue-Ray player. But we can guarantee it is something you won’t find at most big box stores this weekend. With every purchase above $10.00 at Rokland.com on Black Friday you get one of these:

If you thought it was going to be a Prius, you must have mistaken us for Oprah. We don’t have the resources to give away full size cars, but these are pretty cool nonetheless. They run entirely on power from the sun and make a neat (but fun) learning toy for any children you may know. But you don’t have to be a child to find this interesting. It requires no winding and no batteries. Set it on the ground and off it goes. For details about this offer, click here.

We do have a limited supply, but not that limited. If for some reason we run out, we will state this at the top of our web site when it happens on Friday. Rain checks won’t be available.

So then if we’re not giving away a full-sized car, why have a Black Friday special on a full-sized Wi-Fi adapter? This Friday you can get the world’s smallest* 802.11n Wi-Fi USB adapter dongle for just $9.97. If you have a computer that is not yet wireless, this may be the best deal of the season, not to mention one of the coolest Wi-Fi products of the season! If it were any thinner, they couldn’t even fit an LED light on it.

*We cannot confirm to a legal certainty it is the world’s smallest WiFi adapter, but it’s pretty small!

One thing is for sure- it will have no trouble fitting in a Christmas stocking. What’s really nice about this item is it contains a Realtek chipset and works very well despite its small size. Because the case is small, it contains a small antenna, and thus your reception is not going to compare with some other long range wireless-N products we sell, but in comparison testing we found it worked about the same as basic range standard-sized USB wireless-N adapters from big brands (the 802.11g reception was not quite as good as internal cards on our laptops).

For a limited time this holiday season we’ve put together a special kit that has everything you need to extend your wireless range. If you are in the market for a long range Wi-Fi adapter and have checked out the AWUS036H 1 watt (1000mW) USB adapter from Alfa, you can now get this awesome adapter along with a 9 dBi omni directional antenna, a 7 dBi directional antenna, a magnetic docking base for the antenna with five-foot cable, as well as a U-mount holder with both clip and suction cup.

The best part is the price- this special bundle deal will save you over $25.00 off the cost of buying all of these items individually, and that does not even count combined shipping savings!
